Glossary

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)

A DiSEqC compatible receiver relies on a switching box which detects the 22kHz tone pulsing rapidly
on and off . In this way, a specially designed receiver can control numerous LNBs through a DiSEqC
switching box.

Dolby Digital

An encoding system that digitally compresses up to 5.1 discrete channels of audio (left front, centre,
right front, left surround, right surround) into a single Bitstream. A low frequency eff ect (LFE) channel
is included providing the sound needed for special eff ects.

DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)

Set of standards that defi ne digital broadcasts using satellite, cable or terrestrial systems.

EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)

An electronic equivalent to a printed television listings magazine; it is an application used with
digital set-top boxes and digital television sets to list current and scheduled programs that are or
will be available on each channel, including a short summary or commentary for each program. The
information supplied in the EPG is sent and updated by the channel broadcaster.

FEC (Forward Error Correction)

A technique for error control of data transmission.

Frequency

The property of a signal measured in cycles per second (=Hz).

FTA (Free- To-Air)

An unscrambled broadcaster allowing customers to view channels or services without paying any
subscription.

Hi-Fi (High Fidelity)

The characteristics of audio devices that can play back all the audio frequencies a person can detect,

PID (Packet Identifi er)

A set of numbers identifying stream packets contained within a single data stream.

QPSK (Quaternary Phase Shift Keying)

Digital modulation technique in which the carrier phase can have one of four possible values.

RF (Radio Frequency)

Television signals are modulated onto RF signals and are then demodulated by your television’s or
STB’s tuner.
